  "summary": "This subtopic governs long-lived tangible assets held by not-for-profit entities, including contributed property, plant, and equipment and collection items. Its core rules are that all NFPs must recognize depreciation on long-lived tangible assets (360-958-35-1), that contributed PP&E is recognized under the Contributions Received Subsections of 958-605 with initial measurement including all costs to place the asset in use (360-958-30-1), and that an NFP holding a \"collection\" may elect one of three policies—full capitalization, prospective capitalization, or no capitalization—but capitalizing selected items is precluded (360-958-25-3).",
  "key_points": [
    "All NFPs shall recognize depreciation on long-lived tangible assets (360-958-35-1), and grant or reimbursement 'allowable cost' terms do not affect recognition or measurement of depreciation for financial reporting (360-958-35-7).",
    "Works of art and historical treasures not part of a collection must be recognized as assets (360-958-25-2); contributed collection items need not be recognized, and the NFP must elect capitalization of all items, prospective capitalization, or no capitalization—selective capitalization is precluded (360-958-25-1 through 25-3).",
    "Depreciation need not be recognized on an individual work of art or historical treasure only if verifiable evidence shows both perpetual cultural, aesthetic, or historical value worth preserving and the holder's technological and financial ability to preserve the service potential essentially undiminished, and is doing so (360-958-35-3 through 35-4).",
    "Buildings, structures, landmarks, and monuments—and items comprising collections in the ordinary sense—are depreciated because wear, pollutants, and vibrations use up their service potential (360-958-35-5), and capitalized major preservation or restoration costs are depreciated until the next expected effort (360-958-35-6).",
    "Purpose-restricted contributions of PP&E without a donor time stipulation, and cash restricted for acquiring or constructing PP&E, are reclassified in full to net assets without donor restrictions when the asset is placed in service (360-958-45-1A); an explicit donor time restriction instead releases over the specified period, an amount that may differ from depreciation (360-958-45-1).",
    "An NFP that does not capitalize (or capitalizes prospectively) must show a statement of financial position line item referring to the collections disclosures, and report purchases, sale proceeds, and insurance recoveries of noncapitalized collection items on the face of the statement of activities separately from revenues, expenses, gains, and losses (360-958-45-3, 45-5).",
    "Required disclosures include the capitalization and collection policies and basis of valuation (360-958-50-1), liquidity and limitations on use of PP&E such as liens and donor restrictions (360-958-50-3 through 50-4), and the policy on use of deaccession proceeds including the definition of 'direct care' (360-958-50-7)."

  "audience_level": "intermediate",
  "student_note": "Exam questions focus on the three-way collection capitalization election (all, prospective, or none—never selective) and the narrow exception from depreciation for individual works of art, which requires BOTH perpetual value and demonstrated preservation ability. A common misunderstanding is releasing restrictions on donated PP&E over the asset's useful life; absent an explicit donor time stipulation, the entire amount is reclassified when the asset is placed in service.",

The process of using up the future economic benefit or service potential of land often takes place over a period so long that its occurrence is imperceptible—land used as a building site is perhaps the most common example. In contrast, however, that process also sometimes occurs much more rapidly—land used as a site for toxic waste, as a source of gravel or ore, or for farming under conditions in which fertility dissipates relatively quickly and cannot be restored economically are examples.

Consistent with the accepted practice for land used as a building site, depreciation need not be recognized on an individual work of art or historical treasure whose economic benefit or service potential is used up so slowly that its estimated useful life is extraordinarily long. A work of art or historical treasure shall be deemed to have that characteristic only if verifiable evidence exists demonstrating both of the following characteristics:

1.  a
    
    The asset individually has cultural, aesthetic, or historical value that is worth preserving perpetually.
    
2.  b
    
    The holder has the technological and financial ability to protect and preserve essentially undiminished the service potential of the asset and is doing that.

A recognized cultural, aesthetic, or historical value and, generally, an already long existence have established each work of art or historical treasure as a member of a group of rare works with that characteristic. Most of them are acquired by purchase, gift, or discovery with that characteristic already having been demonstrated, and the holder or acquirer usually takes steps to protect and preserve it, for example, by keeping a work of art in a protective environment and limiting its use solely to display. While that characteristic is not limited to assets with an already long existence, an asset that has come into existence relatively recently cannot be assumed to have it in the absence of the verifiable evidence described in the preceding paragraph. For example, to put a painting in a protective environment is not by itself evidence of cultural, aesthetic, or historical value that is worth preserving perpetually.

If future contributions without donor restrictions to the entity as a whole are not considered, the sum of the expected future cash flows may be negative or positive but less than the carrying amount of the asset. For example, the costs of administering a museum may exceed the admission fees charged, but the museum may fund the cash flow deficit with contributions without donor restrictions.

Some donors impose restrictions that are temporary in nature, for example, stipulating that resources be used after a specified date, for particular programs or services, or to acquire buildings or equipment. Other donors impose restrictions that are perpetual in nature, for example, stipulating that resources be maintained in perpetuity. Laws may extend those limits to investment returns from those resources and to other enhancements (diminishments) of those resources.

A reclassification of net assets usually results from a donor-imposed restriction (donors include other types of contributors, including makers of certain grants) being satisfied or otherwise lapsing."), see paragraph [958-220-45-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/220/958/#220-958-45-3).) The amount reclassified may or may not be equal to the amount of the related depreciation. The amount to be reclassified shall be based on the length of time indicated by the donor-imposed restrictions, if restrictions exist, while the amount of depreciation shall be based on the useful economic life of the asset. For example, a computer with an estimated useful economic life of five years may be contributed by a donor and restricted for a specific use by the NFP for three years. Absent donor stipulations specifying how long such donated assets or assets constructed or acquired with cash restricted for such acquisition or construction must be used, restrictions on long-lived assets, if any, expire when the assets are placed in service as required by paragraph [958-205-45-12](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/958/#205-958-45-12).

The entire amount of the contribution of property, plant, or equipment or cash shall be reclassified at the time the asset is placed in service. There may be circumstances in which a donor restriction might extend beyond the point at which the property, plant, or equipment is placed in service. For example, a donor might specify that a donation restricted for the acquisition of property, plant, or equipment must continue to be used for a specified period of time. In such circumstances, the restriction would expire over the period of time that the asset is to be used.

Certain transactions involving collection items are required by paragraph [958-360-45-5](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/958/#360-958-45-5) to be reported separately from items of revenues, gains, expenses, and losses.
